Recipe Steps
- Combine the spelt flour with all the other dried ingredients and mix well. In another bowl whisk together the sour cream with the water, eggs, melted butter and the vanilla. Stir this into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- For the berries…
- Place a small pan onto a moderate heat and add in the marmalade or jam and the water stirring to remove any lumps, bring the jam to a simmer then add in the berries and cook them for about 3-4 minutes until the berries have softened. Set them aside.
- Melt the butter in a large pan over a moderate temperature, place spoonful’s of the mixture in to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden on both sides. Continue until all of the mixture has been used up.
- To serve the hotcakes, stack them onto a plate and top them with the berries and some of the sauce. For the cinnamon quart, combine the creamed honey with the spices and fold this through the quark. You can also use ice cream or yoghurt.
** Quark is a type of soft cheese that is ideal for using as a spread instead of cream cheese, it is perfect for baking cheesecakes and also in other savoury dishes.
